Mumbai married woman gangraped in Bhopal

Bhopal: A woman from Mumbai who had come to Bhopal with her husband was gangraped in a moving car, police said on Thursday.

The incident occurred late Wednesday night when Pramod and his wife, waiting for a public transport near the Asaram Bapu Ashram in Gandhi Nagar locality, took lift in an Innova Car, police said.

There were already four people including the driver in the car, which had dark tinted glasses. As soon as they boarded the car, the people sitting inside held Pramod hostage at gun point and raped his wife even as the car continued to move, police said.

Later, they left the couple on a dark road and fled. The couple then reached the Gandhi Nagar police station and lodged a complaint.

Gandhi Nagar station house officer (SHO) Anurag Pandey said the woman was raped by three people in the car.

"We have registered a case. The victim has been sent to the hospital and efforts are on to identify and nab the culprits," he said.
